Biography

edit

As a youth, Plavsic played in the 1982 and 1983 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey team from the North Shore of Montreal.[2] Although being highly-ranked for the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League draft, Plavsic chose a scholarship at the University of New Hampshire as a 17 year old. Following his freshman year he was drafted 30th overall by St. Louis in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft, and chose to join the Canadian National team in 1988-89. In the NHL, he played for the St. Louis Blues, Vancouver Canucks, Tampa Bay Lightning and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. Plavsic played 214 regular season games in the NHL, scoring 16 goals and 56 assists for 72 points and clocking up 151 penalty minutes. He played in Switzerland's Nationalliga A from 1998 to 2008. He has coached mostly in Switzerland since retiring, including a two year stint as a player-assistant coach for EHC Basel in 2010–11 and 2011–12.[1]

In 2005, he became Swiss citizen through marriage.[citation needed]
